33: Demon clan plots, saintess is ambushed

"This is going too far!"

An angry shout rang out, and a young Cultivator dressed in green robes rushed out from the crowd.

He was a Genius from a nearby Sect, having reached the Late Stage of the Divine Palace Realm at a young age. He had come to seek an Opportunity, but he could not endure the arrogance of the Yao Race.

"You Winged Human Clan scum, dare you fight me?"

The green-robed Cultivator held a long sword, his Aura imposing, pointing directly at Ling Fengyi.

"Oh? There is actually an ant who doesn't know when to die daring to provoke me?"

A trace of Killing Intent flashed in Ling Fengyi's eyes. With a flap of his wings, his figure instantly appeared before the green-robed Cultivator, giving the opponent no chance to react at all.

"Seeking death!"

He condensed a golden wind blade in his palm, containing terrifying cutting power, and slashed it lightly toward the green-robed Cultivator.

"Oh no!"

The green-robed Cultivator's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly circulated his Qi to defend. However, the disparity in their strength was too vast; the golden wind blade instantly tore through his defense and pierced his brow.

Pfft— Blood splattered. Killed in one move, leaving not even a corpse behind.

Whoosh! The Human Race Cultivators were in an uproar, their faces filled with fear.

"Killed in one blow! The Winged Human Clan Prodigy is too strong!"

"It's over. Even Li Feiyu, who is at the Late Stage of the Divine Palace Realm, couldn't block a single move. What are we going to do?"

"When will the experts from the Taiyi Holy Land arrive..."

Seeing this, the Yao Race Prodigies became even more arrogant.

"Hahaha! Is this the Genius of the Human Race? Pathetic!"

"Who else is unconvinced? Step forward if you dare!"

At the very back of the Yao Race, a Golden Jiao watched with an indifferent gaze.

His name was Ao Haotian, the Young Lord of the Golden Flood Dragon Clan. He was the mastermind behind this Yao Race Prodigy coalition and the strongest Prodigy of the Yao Race this time.

Everything that happened on Tianya Mountain today was his doing.

In the past, even if he had been given a hundred times the courage, he would not have dared to orchestrate such an event, testing and provoking the Taiyi Holy Land.

But today, someone had given him the confidence; a behemoth comparable to the Taiyi Holy Land was backing him.

"According to that guy, this Secret Realm is not a tomb, but an Ancient Battlefield where two Immortal Beasts perished together. There is a high probability that immortal beast essence blood exists inside."

"As long as I bring the immortal beast essence blood back, the days when my Heavenly Demon Dao Province was kept suppressed will be over!"

"And the good days of the Taiyi Holy Land will also come to an end!"

Ao Haotian was full of ambition, gazing into the distance.

Below, just as the Human Race Cultivators were in a panic and almost ready to give up resistance, a cold female voice suddenly rang out, like cracking ice: "Yao Race madmen, stop being so presumptuous!"

Before the voice died away, a figure in white robes arrived through the air. Her figure was graceful, her face stunningly beautiful, and her whole body radiated the powerful Aura of the Peak Heavenly Being Realm.

"It is the Sixteenth Saintess of the Taiyi Holy Land, Su Zihan!"

"Great! People from the Taiyi Holy Land have finally arrived!"

The Human Race Cultivators saw this and immediately cheered, hope reigniting in their eyes.

The Taiyi Holy Land was the leader and overlord of the entire Giant Deer Dao Province, and the impression that the Taiyi Holy Land Prodigies were invincible was already deeply rooted in their hearts.

To them, the word Saintess was synonymous with two words: Invincible!

Su Zihan landed in the arena and swept her cold gaze over the Yao Race Prodigies: "This is still the territory of my Taiyi Holy Land; you all have gone too far!"

Hearing this, Ling Fengyi snorted disdainfully, "So what if you are from the Taiyi Holy Land? You are just a mere woman!"

Having said that, he flapped his wings again, and golden wind blades slashed densely toward Su Zihan.

Swish, swish, swish! The air tore, vision distorted; it was as if even space itself was being shredded by these wind blades!

"You don't know when to die!"

With the opponent being so arrogant, Su Zihan's expression became even colder. With a wave of her jade hand, a massive spiritual barrier instantly unfolded, blocking all the wind blades.

Immediately after, her figure flashed, and she condensed a white long sword in her hand. The sword momentum was sharp, stabbing directly at Ling Fengyi.

This sword strike was cold enough to freeze ten thousand miles, piercing through heaven and earth!

All the wind blades were easily shattered before this sword strike. Pathetic!

"Oh no!"

Feeling the terrifying power of this sword strike, Ling Fengyi's expression changed drastically. He wanted to dodge, but found himself locked in place by an invisible force.

Rip— Blood sprayed across the sky. The white long sword slashed down, directly splitting Ling Fengyi in two. That pair of huge wings that had covered the sky fell, with no possibility of taking flight again.

Killed the Winged Human Clan Prodigy in one move!

The Yao Race Prodigies cast their gazes over, their expressions changing abruptly. They looked at this woman with eyes full of wariness.

"That sword strike just now was enough to kill someone at the Perfection of the Life and Death Realm!"

"Fighting across a major Realm? Is this the Prodigy Saintess of the Taiyi Holy Land? Her reputation is well-deserved!"

For a moment, no Yao Race Prodigy dared to step forward.

The Human Race Cultivators were boiling with excitement, their cheers deafening: "Saintess Su is mighty!" "The Taiyi Holy Land is invincible!"

Su Zihan looked around at the Yao, her gaze haughty. "Who else wants to make a move?"

Once these words were spoken, the crowd of Yao Race Prodigies looked over, anger igniting in their hearts. This Taiyi Holy Land Saintess was simply too arrogant!

"Human Saintess, stop being so rampant!"

Man Lietian, who had just suppressed the crowd, leaped out and arrived in front of her. His physique was even taller than Man Lieshan's, his muscles knotted, radiating the Aura of the Peak of the Life and Death Realm.

Seeing this scene, everyone gasped, and they began to worry for Su Zihan. This was a genuine Yao Race Peak Life and Death Realm Prodigy!

Could this Saintess Su really defeat him? No one was confident.

"Little wench, die!"

Man Lietian didn't waste any words; he launched a lethal move immediately. He punched out violently, the wind of his fist whistling, containing world-destroying power.

Rumble... In an instant, the ground for thousands of miles was trembling and cracking! With one punch, the heavens collapsed and the earth split, the sun and moon sorrowed together!

The Giant Strength Bull Demon Battle Body, so terrifying!

Facing such an offensive, Su Zihan dared not be careless and fought with all her might. The sword light was like water, cold for ten thousand miles, Killing Intent imposing!

Every sword strike she swung separated the Yin and Yang, light and dark, between heaven and earth. Her Sword Qi severed twilight and dawn!

The two sides exchanged blows, fighting until the sky grew dark. For a time, it was hard to tell who was winning, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred rounds had passed.

"Monster, seeking death!"

Su Zihan fought with increasing courage, her sword light becoming more dazzling; she had firmly taken the upper hand. Man Lietian, on the other hand, was going from bad to worse, constantly adding wounds to his body, and was clearly about to be defeated on the spot.

Just then, a palm-sized black shadow suddenly darted out from the side. It was another top Yao Race Prodigy, Zhan Wuqiong of the Horned Heaven Battle Ant Clan. His figure was small, perfect for an ambush.

At this moment, he seized Su Zihan's opening. A pair of ant pincers capable of shaking Divine Artifacts bloomed with shocking light, stabbing fiercely at Su Zihan's back. The shocking gleam pierced the air, extremely insidious!

"Saintess, watch out!"

The Human Race Cultivators exclaimed, but it was too late to stop it. The ant pincers instantly pierced Su Zihan's back, and blackness spread instantly. These ant pincers were actually coated with a deadly poison!

"Ah!" Su Zihan screamed, blood staining her white robes. Her body stumbled backward as the black toxin spread rapidly through her blood vessels to her whole body, her Aura instantly wilting.

In just an instant, she felt as if ants were crawling and biting every part of her body. The pain of ten thousand ants devouring her heart!

Under the intense pain, she fell heavily to the ground, losing her combat ability.

"Despicable!"

"It was agreed to be one-on-one combat, yet you disregard martial ethics. You truly are a barbaric Yao Race, without upbringing, impossible to educate!"

"A bunch of beasts who drink blood and eat raw meat, you will not die well!"

The Human Race Cultivators were furious and cursed loudly. The Yao Race Prodigies laughed, their arrogance flaring up again.

"Hahaha! So what if she is a Saintess of the Taiyi Holy Land? Isn't she still heavily injured by us!"

"One-on-one combat? A joke! This is a battlefield; who plays one-on-one on a battlefield? Isn't that something only a fool would do? We have a numerical advantage, why shouldn't we use it?!"

"The Human Race is just stupid, they deserve to be bullied!"

The Yao Race Cultivators continued to gloat and mock them to their faces. The Human Race Cultivators' spirits instantly plummeted to the bottom; the hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again, and their faces were filled with despair.

"Could it be that my Human Race today is truly fated to miss out on this Yao Saint's tomb?"

"It is clearly a Secret Realm within Human Race territory, yet we are being driven out like cuckoos occupying a magpie's nest, without even the qualification to get a share; this is truly a great humiliation!"

"Fairy Su, could you contact the Holy Land to expel these Yao brats?"

A Cultivator asked Su Zihan in a low voice. Su Zihan was about to answer, but seemed to notice something and looked up at the sky.

At the same time, the sky suddenly split, revealing a huge spatial rift, and a vast and boundless Aura permeated from it.

Immediately after, a ten-thousand-zhang-long supreme flying boat slowly sailed out. The flying boat was cast entirely from white jade, engraved with complex runes, exuding a faint Holy Light, and landed steadily at the foot of Tianya Mountain.

Seeing this supreme flying boat, Su Zihan's expression brightened: "It is the supreme flying boat of the Holy Land!"

The supreme flying boat is a top-tier flying shuttle mass-produced by the Holy Land, and only a Grand Elder has the qualification to own one. In other words, the owner of this supreme flying boat is at least a Grand Elder.

And every Grand Elder of the Taiyi Holy Land is a Saint-level powerhouse. It is completely enough to reverse the situation!

Su Zihan forced herself to support her heavily injured body, enduring the pain of ten thousand ants devouring her heart, and spoke loudly toward the supreme flying boat.

"I do not know which Grand Elder has arrived in person. Disciple Su Zihan was ambushed by Yao Race thieves; I ask the Grand Elder to make the decision!"

However, there was no response from the supreme flying boat for a long time. After a while, the door of the supreme flying boat slowly opened, and a beautiful figure walked out.

She was dressed in a green tasseled long dress, her face charming, her temperament gentle. It was the Fourteenth Saintess of the Taiyi Holy Land, Liu Changxi.

Looking at Liu Changxi's figure, Su Zihan was a bit anxious.

"Senior Sister Liu, where is the Grand Elder who came with you? These Yao Race are acting abnormally; I suspect they are brewing a major conspiracy against the Holy Land!"

Who knew that Liu Changxi did not answer her question. Instead, she made a move that made all the Cultivators drop their jaws.

She saw her slowly turn around, walk to the side of the supreme flying boat door, and bow slightly, like a respectful maidservant, yielding the path in the middle.

"What is the situation? Why would the Fourteenth Saintess make such a move?"

"Is there someone even more noble on the supreme flying boat?"

"Who is it? To be able to make the Fourteenth Saintess so respectful, is there really a Grand Elder on the supreme flying boat?!"

In an instant, even the mastermind Ao Haotian, who was observing in secret, clenched his fists, held his breath, and stared fixedly at the supreme flying boat door. He was still praying in his heart.

"It must not be a Grand Elder, otherwise today's plan will be ruined!"

Although there are forces at the Holy Land level pushing things behind the scenes, they haven't truly torn off the mask yet, and the person behind the scenes won't easily make a move.

It seemed that Ao Haotian's prayer had taken effect. Just as everyone was in doubt, a tall and straight figure slowly walked out of the supreme flying boat.

He was dressed in white, his face incomparably handsome, his temperament like an immortal, perfect to the point of giving people an unreal feeling. Such a person should only exist in heaven!

Who else could it be but Xu Jinhuan?
